    TUSKEGEE VETERINARY MEDICAL PERSPECTIVE2020 VOL. 44 NO. 1 TUSKEGEE UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF VETERINARY MEDICINE “Celebrating 75 Years of Excellence…. Sustaining Our Legacy & Advancing Veterinary Medicine for Future Generations” TUSKEGEE UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF VETERINARY MEDICINE COLLEGE OF VETERINARY MEDICINE Office of the Dean reetings and welcome to this issue of the Veterinary Medical Perspective magazine. I hope that you enjoy reading and reflecting with this issue of the Perspective. With this unprecedented time and in the midst of global fear and anxiety from the Gcoronavirus disease COVID-19 pandemic, we have been impacted by the widespread of civil unrest from the unjustified murder of unarmed black men and women over the past months. The anger that developed from many of us including our students added to the anxiety and tension of having to teach and learn in an already compromised delivery of our educational programs in a pandemic environment. To support each other as a College family, we utilized a zoom platform to hold a three-part series with our TUCVM Family of faculty, staff, students and alumni on the topic: “Society, Injustice, Racism, and Health” as we navigate through this current state of a pandemic which has compromised all of us and with the additional impact from societal ills of injustice, racism and the impact on the health of people in particular African Americans, and also other people of color. I express my sincere gratitude to the TUCVM family for their support while I served as Acting President of the University during the spring semester of 2020 while President McNair was on medical leave.
